Hi,

I want to be able to freeze and unfreeze the
display from one of the output from a dual
screen graphics card while the
other is live. How can i do that? I cannot
find anything on the options, preferences
etc.

You'll need a screen capture program.

No i think you've misunderstood, or maybe i
have.

Basically, i have a computer with dual screen
graphics card. One output is to a lcd screen
which only i will see, the other is to a
projector which the audience will see.

Now say if i wanted to make changes to a
presentation i was showing the audience, but
didn't want to show them what i was doing.
I'd freeze the projector using a shortcut key
or something, make the changes on the pc with
the aid of the lcd screen while everyone else
is seeing the screen i froze, then unfreeze
it.

I know i can freeze the projector, but that
doesn't work for me, so i was hoping if i can
freeze one of the outputs of the graphics
card (in this case the DVI), it would work
wonders for me.

Thank you.
